Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has received widespread attention as a tumor optical treatment strategy in the field of malignant tumor therapy. Nonmetallic multifunctional nanomaterials as CDT agents, due to their low toxicity, long-lasting effects, and safety characteristics, have promising applications in the integrated diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Here, we modified the supramolecular framework of boron clusters, coupled with a variety of dyes to develop a series of metal-free agent compounds, and demonstrated that these nonmetallic compounds have excellent CDT activities through experiments. Subsequently, the best performing Methylene Blue/[closo-B12H12]2- (MB@B12H12) was used as an example. Through theoretical calculations, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and 808 nm light irradiation, we confirmed that MB@B12H12 exhibited photothermal performance and CDT activity further. More importantly, we applied MB@B12H12 to melanoma cells and subcutaneous tumor, demonstrating its effective suppression of melanoma growth in vitro and in vivo through the synergistic effects of photothermal performance and CDT activity. This study emphasizes the generalizability of the coupling of dyes to [closo-B12H12]2- with important clinical translational potential for CDT reagents. Among them, MB@B12H12 may have a brighter future, paving the way for the rapid development of metal-free CDT reagents.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging treatment strategy that inhibits tumor growth by catalyzing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH), using specific nanomaterials. Herein, we have developed a new class of iron-based nanomaterials, i.e., iron-based borides (FeB), using the superchaotropic effect of a boron cluster (closo-[B12H12]2-) and organic ligands, followed by high-temperature calcination. Experimental data and theoretical calculations revealed that FeB nanoparticles exhibit a Fenton-like effect, efficiently decomposing hydrogen peroxide into •OH and thus increasing the concentration of ROS. FeB nanomaterials demonstrate excellent catalytic performance, efficiently generate ROS, and exert significant antitumor effects in cell experiments and animal models. Therefore, FeB nanomaterials have considerable potential for application in tumor treatment and offer new insights for the development of novel and efficient cancer therapy strategies.
